Application of High-Accuracy Reference Measurement Procedures for Target-Setting in WADA EQAS Programs for Longitudinal Steroid Profiling
Resource description
Project Title: Application of High-Accuracy Reference Measurement Procedures for Target-Setting in WADA EQAS Programs for Longitudinal Steroid Profiling
Researchers: Dr. E.J. Murby, Dr. V. Vamathevan
Institution: National Measurement Institute, Australia
Year accepted: 2014
Summary: The aim of this project is to utilise high-accuracy Reference Measurement Procedures (RMPs) developed at the National Measurement Institute of Australia (NMIA) to assign reference values with low measurement uncertainties for eight target analytes in World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) External Quality Assessment Scheme (EQAS) samples. The target analytes are androsterone (A), etiocholanolone (E), testosterone (T), epitestosterone (epi-T), 5a-androstane-3a,17b-diol (5a-Adiol) and 5b-androstane-3a,17b-diol (5b-Adiol), 19-norandrosterone (19-NA) and the T/Epi-T ratio.
